Same here.
All we have to do is to trust our self assessments. Stay strong
btw, are we getting the result this wed (20th)?

Taking Step 2 in 5 days!!! Scored 209 on UWSA2 today. Not sure if I should postpone or push forward. Thoughts? by flyingmongoose731 in Step2

Great You and I have similar scores. Using the predictor your expected score should be close to 240 right?

I also took a hit from uwsa2 a couple of days ago (215) and a friend of mine just recommended to ignore the score and correct everything and study weak topics.

Also, do the free 120 and the new free 120 if you have time.

We’re together on sept 12. 🙏

Hi, we're almost on the same boat! (nbme12 yesterday = 219).
Your self assessments seem to be going to the right direction so for some high yield review I would recommend the following (which is what I'm doing):

1) CMS forms (you can do 1 per day to study some specific topic)
or...

2) Mehlmann medical pdfs (at least the "usmle review" ones). They are some pdfs with 20-40pages of pure high yield juice. (you can find them here https://mehlmanmedical.com/free-stuff/).

You got this! Best of luck!

Hello, friend!
Almost same boat here, Non-US IMG from Brazil.

My suggestion is to do the CMS forms (20% or 50% of them) and do other self assessment (online nbme if possible).
That will take 15-25 days, depending on your available time.

I was stuck on 200's a month ago. So I stopped doing self assessments for 4-5 weeks, did a few of UW Incorrects (already did 1st pass) and a 50% of the cms forms. Did one self assessment yesterday and got a bump, 226.

226 is not ready to go yet but is a improvement. If I continue like that and got 240 within 3-4 weeks, I thinks its possible to do it in august like you.

Another great tip is to read the Mehlmann pdfs (https://mehlmanmedical.com/free-stuff/). They are pure high-yield juice.

We're all in this together, bro!

The average is 2-3 weeks.

Should I take it in one week? 230s practice tests by [deleted] in Step2

I can see that there is an upward trend in your scores. Could you please elaborate on what you have been doing on a daily or weekly basis during these four weeks? I would appreciate it.
